Fairly certain we missed their last Tin Angel full length to which we’ve been kicking ourselves furiously about. Not quite sure where this one fits or doesn’t, as the case may be. This is Mauno with ‘how long’ – another slice of distracting off kilter odd pop and we say all this with a becoming degree of affection, not least because this lot excel in crafting or should that be de-crafting, a curious flair for fractured dayglo pop that coos, croons and woozes with such lazy eyed slackery as to imagine a slightly worse for wear Pavement in cahoots with Garlic trying out for Elephant 6 Collective adoration. Three minutes of peculiar procociousness is what you’ll be treated to here, where moments dreamily dissolve between the occasioning of riff blisters and the appearance of hymnals and a whole heap load of crooked loveliness sprayed in blissing raptures of hazy euphoria. https://soundcloud.com/tin-angel-records/mauno-how-long
